Soseki

[Allan MacLeod <allan.macleod@usask.ca>]

Dear All,
    First, my thnaks to Anne Marble for her information about Ex
Libris.  It appears that this list is not complete, which is a shame.
An interesting omission is Santayana's Last Puritan.  Did the editors of
the list simply not include it?  or did Gould not own it?  did he,
perhaps, never read it? or is it lost?
But I have a quetion for our Japanese members.  Who is Natsumi Soseki?
I gather he is an early twentieth century novelist, educated in Britain,
and that he is on the 1000 yen note.  But why would Gould be attracted
to him?  Is he regarded as a spiritual writer?
    Any help is apppreciated.
